Ash Fire Management Ltd introduces its innovative, patented NATURVENT Smoke, Heat and Exhaust Ventilation (SHEV) system. Based on proven systems installed in commercial premises, Naturvent has been tested at the Building Research Establishment and shown to “assist in maintaining visibility and reducing toxic gas concentrations in areas remote from the room of fire origin.”
‘Highly Commended’ at the Product Excellence Awards for this year’s Homebuilding and Renovating Show, this innovative product is compliant with Approved Document B and other current regulations and is adaptable to any dwelling no matter what the composite materials.

If a fire breaks out, Naturvent’s sensors will;

· Raise the alarm

· Open the vents in the roof’s fire proof shaft and activate the cyclonic fans

· Inform the local Fire and Rescue Service

· Shut off all electronically controlled gas valves

The toxic gases, heat and smoke are the most destructive elements of the fire and the Naturvent system expels these from the dwelling. This gives two massive benefits:

· Extension of escape time; the occupants remain conscious and so can execute their fire escape plan.

· The fire fighters working environment is much clearer and safer.

Ideally suited to large houses of multiple occupancy, the system is favourably priced compared to, for example, water sprinkler systems and is easily installed with little disruption.

The Naturvent system is Ash Fire Management Ltd’s newly patented technology for the residential market, the concept already being fully operational in commercial and industrial arenas.

The hot, toxic and highly dangerous gases that the fire produces will ALWAYS strive to reach the highest point in a building, and by venting these gases, together with the smoke and the heat, the Naturvent system:

· Improves visibility, especially in means of escape stairwells and passages

· Makes the fire fighters’ tasks easier and safer

· Reduces the Carbon Monoxide levels, increasing chances of survival

· Prevents the spread of the fire

· Saves the structure and the owner’s possessions from possible total loss.

This is what people have to say about Naturvent;

In my opinion, this innovative product is the way forward in pro-active fire solutions and in the long term will have a positive effect on householder and fire fighter safety.” T. Bates (Senior fire officer with over 25 years experience)

The system had a positive effect on the reduction of the temperature [within the room of fire origin]. Visibility was maintained at low level for the duration of the test and the compartment was completely free of visible products of combustion approximately 11 minutes from ignition. Peak Carbon Monoxide readings were less than 1.5%” Conclusion – BRE Client Report, November 2010

On the evidence presented to me, the system greatly reduced the presence of all toxins and therefore could have a bearing on danger to life.” Professor Peter Kappa (Bio-Chemistry, Kent University)

A new concept for tactical ventilation in the domestic market. No ‘back drafts’; from our operational point of view this could be a life saver” M Cuth (Senior London Fire Fighter)

This is an exciting development in fire safety. The Naturvent system controls the development of the fire, manages the deadly gases and offers a much improved chance of survival. Also by limiting lateral fire spread, the loss of personal possessions and structural damage is greatly reduced.” F Liv (Essex Fire and Rescue Service)
